Start a blank project
Click Blank project on Projects, choose File › New Blank Project, or press ⇧⌘N. The project opens with one empty title slide, ready for slides, videos, a PDF or recordings.
A blank project has nothing recorded in it. Use one to make a video from slides alone, or to put videos you already have together with slides and new recordings.
Start one
Do any of these:
- On Projects, click Blank project.
- Choose File › New Blank Project from the menu bar. On Windows, it's in the menu at the top left of the window.
- Press ⇧⌘N, in the editor or on Projects.
The project opens with one empty Title slide, selected, so you can type its headline straight away. It's called Untitled until you rename it, and it's saved in your recordings folder like your other projects.
Fill it
- Slides: press ⇧T or click Slide in the Parts tab (⌘1). See Add slides.
- A video you have: choose File › Add Video to Project…, click Add in the timeline bar and pick Video, or drop an MP4, MOV or M4V file on the editor. See Add a video to a project.
- A PDF or pictures: click Add in the timeline bar and pick Present a deck, or drop the PDF on the editor. See Present a deck.
- A new recording: open the Parts tab and click Record next part. See Record in parts.
Each one goes in after the part at the playhead, or at the end. Drag them in the Parts list to change the order.
A blank project starts out 16:9 wide. For another shape, pick one from the aspect menu at the top of the editor. See Size for each platform.
Don't need the first slide?
Select it and press ⌫ once you've added something else.
Ask an agent
Coding agents can start a blank project too, and add your videos to it. Ask Claude Code or Codex for "a blank project with my intro.mov after a title slide" and it makes one. See Agents.
